In safe havens, there will be a decreased likelihood of overdoses on hard drugs and addicts who have overdosed whilst under the supervision of medical professionals will be able to receive the care they need to survive. In countries such as Portugal, where drugs have been decriminalised and there are safe havens for addicts, the amount of people that get into drugs is lower than over here in the UK. They show addicts the risks of the drugs they do and this often puts them off.
